ASA Sizing chemicals program features a polymer-based emulsifier that brings operational and quality control to your paper system.

Medallion Sizing Program

Cooked cationic starch? It’s done. Buckman’s Medallion ASA sizing system features a breakthrough emulsifier, Bubond® 650, that incorporates a cationic polymer, instead of starch, to bring new operational and quality control to the sizing process. Medallion reduces hydrolysis rates, reduces machine deposition, and simplifies the entire sizing process for your alkaline papermaking system. The result is reduced sizing costs and more consistent Cobb values from reel to reel.
